Daniel Cross had never thought himself a traitor. For years, he had built his reputation as loyal, dependable, steady the kind of man who carried others’ burdens without asking for recognition. But now, as he sat in a café across from Julian Blackwell’s associate, his hands wrapped around a coffee cup gone cold, the truth gnawed at him.

He was betraying Gabriel. Betraying everything he had sworn to protect.

The folder the associate had given him lay open on the table: financial leaks, insider communications, and most dangerous of all a strategy on how to destabilize Knight Enterprises from within.

Julian Blackwell’s plan was clear: target Adrian’s empire not with a frontal assault, but with a thousand cuts clients pulled away, board members doubting, investors complaining. And Daniel was to be the lighter to ignite the fire..

You have access to Gabriel, the associate reminded him, a man with eyes too sharp and a smile too smooth. Through him, you have proximity to Knight. Informa

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    Chapter Hundred and six

    The city felt softer when they returned. Maybe it was the afterglow of their lake house retreat the way peace had seeped into their bones or maybe it was simply that Adrian and Gabriel had learned how to move through life without rushing, without trying to control every heartbeat. The Knight mansion welcomed them home like an old friend. Elias returned to school with a brighter spirit, telling stories of canoe races and campfire songs, while Adrian and Gabriel slipped back into work, though it no longer consumed them. The house was alive again with laughter echoing through the hallways, dinners shared, and soft piano music drifting from the living room on lazy evenings. A week after they returned, Adrian received a call that stirred something deep in his chest. It was Sebastian Hale. “Mind if I drop by this weekend?” his voice asked, careful but sincere. Adrian hesitated only a moment before replying, “You’re always welcome, Sebastian.” And he meant it. When Saturday came, the

    The drive to the lake house felt like an exhale long, unhurried, and filled with the kind of silence that wasn’t empty, but peaceful. The road went through tall pines and soft rolling hills, the lake glittering in the distance like glass beneath the afternoon sun. Elias was in the back seat, earbuds in, head bobbing slightly to some song Adrian couldn’t name but smiled at anyway. When they finally pulled into the gravel driveway, Gabriel was the first to step out, stretching his arms toward the sky. “God, it smells like peace,” he said, inhaling deeply. The air was cool and sharp, carrying the scent of pine and earth and rain….I do love the serene .. Adrian smiled, watching him with quiet affection. “You’ve been talking about this for months,” he teased. “Now that we’re here, I expect full relaxation no calls, no cases, no work emergencies.” Remember??? Gabriel smirked. “That goes both ways, Mr. Knight.” Inside, the house was perfect in its simplicity ,the wide windows overloo

    The morning sunlight streamed through the wide windows of the Knight home, painting soft gold across the marble floors. The air was filled with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the faint hum of the city waking below. Adrian stood in the kitchen, still in his white shirt sleeves, his hair slightly tousled from sleep. Gabriel entered quietly, papers tucked under his arm, his eyes alight with something new something purposeful. Adrian caught that look and smiled, already knowing it meant something important. “You’ve been up early,” he said, sliding a mug of coffee toward him. Gabriel took it with a grateful sigh. “You know me too well...When an idea hits, I can’t sleep until I’ve written it down.” Adrian raised a brow, amused. “And this idea has you glowing like you just won a case at the Supreme Court.”?Mr sexy attorney... Gabriel chuckled, sitting opposite him at the table. “It’s not about a case. It’s… something bigger. I want to start a new initiative—a pro bono legal p

    The weeks following the anniversary dinner carried a kind of quiet magic. Life at the Knight mansion seemed softer, calmer the air filled with the easy laughter of family dinners, morning coffee on the terrace, and late-night talks under the stars. But even in that peace, Adrian Knight never stopped moving forward. Only this time, his pace was different. It wasn’t driven by fear or the hunger to dominate it was shaped by purpose.At Knight Enterprises, change had begun to take root in the most unexpected way. The company once known for its ruthless acquisitions and relentless pursuit of profit was transforming. The board meetings that used to echo with sharp ambition now carried a different tone, one Adrian led with measured conviction. He had introduced something new: The Knight Green Initiative a sustainability-focused division aimed at building technologies for renewable energy, ethical production, and community investment.It wasn’t the kind of move the old Adrian Knight woul

    The night was soft and tender ..the kind of evening that made the city seem gentler, quieter. The skyline shimmered in the distance, its glow reflected in the glass walls of the rooftop where Adrian had planned everything down to the smallest, most personal detail.A single long table stood beneath a canopy of golden lights, candles flickering between white roses, their flames dancing in the late-summer breeze. Soft jazz floated through the air, smooth and slow the kind of music Gabriel loved when the world finally stilled around them.After Adrian finished from his office around 7pm he called Gabriel to wait up so that he could come and pick him up from work and go home together ...hmmmmm ...I love the new Mr Knight..Gabriel teased him...oh please Gabby ...have fallen deeply in love with you ..The drive home was quiet ..Adrian was so nervous that the surprise dinner won’t go well...They arrived at the Knights mansion...and they both went in ..Hey baby.i have a surprise for you

    The house had changed again not in walls or furniture, but in the rhythm of its heartbeat. Elias was no longer the little boy who used to chase fireflies across the lawn or fall asleep in Adrian’s arms after movie nights. He was taller now, his voice deeper, his laughter different. Seventeen, bright-eyed, and restless with the kind of hunger that only youth carries a hunger for freedom, for discovery, for love.Adrian noticed it in small things first. The way Elias lingered longer in front of the mirror, brushing his hair with an almost nervous precision. The sudden, quiet hum of a song as he tied his sneakers before school. The mysterious glow of his phone screen late into the night.At first, Adrian thought nothing of it .. teenagers had secrets; that was normal. But one morning, when Elias came down to breakfast humming, cheeks slightly flushed, Gabriel caught his expression and grinned.“What’s got you smiling like that?” Gabriel asked, passing him the orange juice.Elias froze
